Unlike the main GL title, this book has never been in any danger of being dropped, so the Sinestro Corps content is just a bonus.
As is the focus on Soranik Natu. The scene where one of Korugar's political factions attempts to use her for its own purpose is brief but well done, you get a sense of her frustration.
So, this thing where the Green Lantern rings just refuse to work when the wearer is trying to use lethal force. Is that a new thing? I seem to recall that Kyle destroyed life in that Green Lantern/Aliens thing, although I suppose that may not have been part of regular continuity. And how does it determine whether the intended force is deadly--intent? Does it therefore protect only against intentional but not accidental deadly force? In any case, why not reduce the force rather than deflect the missile entirely? I'm seeing a design flaw here.
And Sinestro's "victory" against Natu--chilling. He's taken her out of the battle by binding her to her planet. I hope to see her able to transcend this.
Particularly, I'm enjoying that the Sinestro Corps seems to have the same diversity of membership as the Green Lantern Corps. That makes sense, since there would be individuals motivated by power as well as by duty throughout the universe--but it will also make for some great fight scenes!
